Autism and Diet

There are many restrictive diets out there for autism. All attempting to alleviate the symptoms of autism. There are some common features they all try to address. First, is any food that’s being consumed modified into harmful chemicals in the brain due to a weakened digestive system? Second, is this diet high in processed foods and added chemicals making it difficult for the brain to focus while being low in antioxidants? Third, is the bacteria in the body off and overrun with bad bugs and not enough good bacteria?

The way special diets for autism go about addressing these things can be very restrictive and not yield the best results. At nutrition advancement we can properly screen for those foods that maybe carried to the brain and causing disregulation in hormone levels.
